Key legal question
Whether the administrative-law appeal against the cantonal administrative judgments was admissible.
Extracted holding
The administrative-law appeal was admissible only against the cantonal appellate judgments, not against the underlying service decisions.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged judgments were final cantonal decisions based on federal animal protection law and cantonal implementing law, so the federal administrative appeal route was open; direct attacks on the service’s decisions failed for lack of cantonal last-instance status.
